Bruce Castle Museum, Lordship Lane, London

Lovely museum in an old manor (free admittance!), surrounded by a fantastic park with most beautiful trees and great children’s playground.

good place to go very interesting, my nan used to take us there as kids and now i take my children there now

waste of time unless you have nothing better to do

The Museum is really homely. Well worth a visit to learn about the inventors of the area, the first postage stamps Henry VIII and his hawks and the WW2 bombing. But I'm afraid your map is wrong. The museum is at the junction of Lordship Lane and Bruce Grove.

Well worth a visit if you are in North London and have an interest in local history. Visit on the annual annual Open London day in the early autumn and get the chance to visit the top of the clock tower. Legend has it that an imprisoned woman was thrown to her death from here. All very gory! Nice cafe serving tea and home made cakes. The park that the museum is set in has some fantastic old oak trees. Watch your pockets though, some of the local characters look a bit dodgy.

everytime ive been in here theres never anyone in it.. maybe if the changed the decor now then it would attract alot more people but stillits ok i suppose.. and its freeeeeeee

This is a great place for a family day out as is surrounded by open grass and alarge park. The buliding itself is quite old which lives up to its name of museum. Inside there are different topics covered like Black history month and also has different things like story writing for children and book reading. There is a childs area inside which holds different activities at weekends. Its especially good at Summer holidays and half terms.

This is really good place for the whole family and i recommend it.

This is an excellent museum on many levels. I like just wandering in their occasionally and poking around the different artifacts.
The history spans from Roman times up to the present day with excellent pictorial and recreative displays of the history of Haringey and Tottenham.
I’ve taken groups of kids here and they were facinated with the artifacts and information that was presented to them.
I like best that there is still an oral tradition in the community, many children had told me about it, of a lady ghost who leaps off the tower every halloween.

Bruce Castle is a fantastic place to be. The castle is a grade 1 listed bulding. The park surrounding it is lovely and in summer you can have a picnic there. They have got workshops, events, tours and also talks about the local history. They usually have got exhibitions which are really interesting. When I was there we had a picnic and it was lovely day. It is a good place to go on a weekend to have a look at the museum and the local archives.

Entry to the museum is free but you must check the opening hours because I don't think they open all day.
